Global Helium Shortage

The conflict in Iran has led to a potential helium shortage due to Qatar's halt in production at Ras Laffan Industrial City, which accounts for 30% of global commercial helium capacity. This shortage may cause a 15% reduction in global helium supply, affecting various industries. Alternative sources can only partially substitute the lost volumes, leaving some regions structurally exposed.
